John Zápolya → John Szapolyai – New name (actually Szapolyai János) is more common in Hungary while the current is less known. As he was a Hungarian king I think the article should be name according to his Hungarian name. 213.46.246.133 20:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Oppose. This is the English language Wikipedia, and the rule per WP:NAME is "most common name in English". It's irrelevant what the most common name in Hungary is; that name doesn't even use the same alphabet. --Dhartung | Talk 21:13, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Zápolya is a Hungarian name just like Szapolyai. Letter á is missing from English so I don't really understand why you think that the name Zápolya is more English than the word Szapolyai. Anyway if the name Zápolya is so much more common in English you are right that the page should not be moved. 213.46.246.133 23:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
